Dzeko

I was a huge supporter of dzeko, but he always had it in him to be a proper mard arse like that time he went down pretending to be injured and got in a standoff with the ref about it and lay down for about 5 minutes.
Still he scored some vital goals, wigan, qpr etc and proper loved giving it to the rags so to me he is a city legend.

However I'm hoping unal because the new Dzeko... if not slightly better as we are crying out for a big man plan B!

At Goodison, wasn't it? The season we won the second title?
 
A victim of Mancinis insistence on playing narrow. Play with winger's and this kid will score goals for fun. Play it through the middle and he struggles. To replace him with Bony was an absolute travesty! Problem is, a lot of people ( myself included - bad Stretch) wanted that move. Hindsight is such wonderful thing. Can we swap him back please.

That turned out to be a great move by the lad, as Everton were all over at the time and we needed to take the pressure off.

I hate to see play-acting, but I doubt we would have won that game had Edin not stayed down, thus breaking up Everton's rhythm.
 
I loved him up until 2014/15. Then I became indifferent to seeing him in the team because he really couldn't be arsed. I wouldn't even bother attributing it to Bony coming in as he didn't play until March, and Dzeko had 'left' City well before Bony was on the cards.

The final straw was waiting that age for the players to come out after the last match of the season, and he swilled around like a mard arse with his hands in his pockets, instead of giving a last thanks to those who sung his name for the previous four years.

Cheers for the goals, Id applaud him but his time was certainly up.
 
He's been in scintillating form for Roma this season.

Since the takeover, he's arguably the third best striker we've had, after Aguero and Tevez.
 
Was watching the highlights from the QPR game recently, and I'd completely forgotten that Dzeko had gone three months without scoring up to that point. What a time to end the drought.
 
Well done Edin !

Wasn't his biggest fan while he was with us, but he scored some important goals for us which I'll never forget.

A good guy and hope he enjoys his well deserved serie A goalden boot.

It was sheer fucking idiocy on our part that we shipped out Edin and replaced him with Bony.

Complete fucking stupidity!

We had 3 choices.

1) Keep faith in Dzeko despite one poor injury hit season in 5 since he arrived.

2) Buy Paul Dybala for £32m - Palermo's president has said publicly this was a possibility.

3) Buy Bony for £28m.

I know that Bony was a Pellegrini purchase and Txiki and co. probably felt they needed to back him with 18 months before Pep's arrival and Bony did have a good record and with the 4222 it kinda made sense, Bony+Aguero could have been good.

But to pick option 3 over those 2, and then 2 months later Pellegrini decides to go 4231?? Fucking madness.
